Answer 1

To solve the equation \( \frac{x}{4} = 12 \) using inverse operations, we need to eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides by 4.

1. The equation is: \[ \frac{x}{4} = 12 \]

2. Multiply both sides by 4: \[ x = 12 \times 4 \]

3. Calculate \( 12 \times 4 \): \[ x = 48 \]

So, the correct response is:

Inverse operation is multiplication; x = 48.
